Twenty-one-year-old Michael Pascrell was a genuine good guy. Always had a smile on his face. Sadly, on March 30, 2013, he was killed when a car struck him while he was walking on a Route 80 on-ramp. A student at Rider University (Lawrenceville, NJ), a group of his friends at Wayne Valley High School are raising funds for the family of this tragedy by selling T-shirts. In the picture below, one of Michael's friends, Nick Tundo, is modeling the memorial T-shirt which was created by another friend, Dave Mateen.
The T-shirts sell for $15, and Mateen has sold about 100 so far. Impressive, but this is not the first charitable initiative Pascrell's friends have started since his death. The Delta Sigma Pi fraternity at Rider University has raised more than $8,200 for the Pascrell family. The group wants to raise $10,000. (Wayne Patch)
Such love and memorializing of just one local person is truly amazing. In light of larger events such as the Boston marathon bombing, people can still come together and help a family grieve over the terrible and wasteful loss of a life. Much love to the Pascrell family. While the money won't return Michael to you, be secure in the knowledge that he will live for a very long time in the hearts and closets of friends and family by way of these powerful memorial T-shirts.
